Just heard from my kid that the “Calamity Mod”, a very popular mod for Terraria, just stopped dead when its lead dev was revealed to be a child predator. As he described it, devs bailed out immediately, contributing artists insisted their art be pulled so they were no longer associated with the project… “it’s been around for a decade and the whole thing just died in six hours.”
What a weird week that I’d admire and even envy a mod community for their moral clarity, solidarity and action.
mhoye but seasonally spooky
